Abstract

A device for treating objects, wherein a gap is formed between two wall sections of a treatment chamber. At least one respective component of at least one first and one second working device which can move along the gap, extends from an outer region outside of the treatment chamber through the gap into the treatment chamber. A covering assembly seals the gap in the wall of the treatment chamber, apart from a first through opening and a second through opening, through which the component of the first working device or the component of the second working device extend, and which follow a movement of the component of the first working device or the component of the second working device along the gap. A covering band running on the gap is secured to a first and to a second securing side of the first working device, said first and second securing sides facing one another in the longitudinal direction of the gap. A diverting device, directs the covering band from the first securing side to the second securing side of the first working device, and also from the first securing side of the first working device to the second working device, where it is lifted away from the gap using a lifting device and directed past the second working device.

Claims (18)

1. A device for treating objects comprising:

a) a treatment chamber, which has at least one wall having a first wall section and a second wall section, wherein a gap extending in the at least one wall is formed between the first wall section and the second wall section;

b) at least one first working unit and one second working unit which each comprise at least one component which extends from an outer region outside the treatment chamber through the gap into the treatment chamber, wherein the at least one first working unit and the second working unit move along the gap;

c) a covering assembly, which seals the gap in the at least one wall of the treatment chamber, apart from

ca) a first through opening, through which the at least one component of the at least one first working unit extends and which follows a movement of the at least one component of the at least one first working unit along the gap;

cb) a second through opening, through which the at least one component of the second working unit extends and which follows a movement of the at least one component of the second working unit along the gap; wherein

d) the covering assembly comprises a covering band, which extends at the gap and which is fastened on a first fastening side and on a second fastening side of the at least one first working unit, wherein the two fastening sides lie opposite one another in a longitudinal direction of the gap; wherein

e) the covering band is guided over a deflection device from the first fastening side to the second fastening side of the at least one first working unit; and

f) the covering band is guided from the first fastening side of the at least one first working unit to the second working unit, where it is lifted away from the gap by means of a lifting device and guided past the second working unit.

2. The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the deflection device is arranged in the outer region.

3. The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the deflection device comprises a plurality of deflection units.

4. The device as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the deflection units each comprise a deflection roller or a deflection surface for the covering band.

5. The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the lifting device is supported by the second working unit.

6. The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the lifting device comprises a plurality of lifting/deflection units.

7. The device as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the lifting/deflection units each comprise a deflection roller or a deflection surface for the covering band.

8. The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first wall section and the second wall section extend in a vertical plane, and wherein the gap extends in the vertical plane.

9. The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first wall section and the second wall section each comprise a horizontal wall part of the at least one wall, and wherein the gap also extends in a horizontal plane.

10. The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least one first working unit and the one second working unit are painting robots.
